CAST A PALL OF WIN by KiNo Featuring the EMS VCS 3

CAST A PALL OF WIN from KiNo on Vimeo.

"A Film-Song by KiNo.
From Corpus Enigma an album of film-songs produced in old Europe.

The full experience is here
www.poetofsoundandimage.com/releases/cast
10 min. Colour/BW
Made in Istanbul
Written, performed, filmed and edited by KiNo
Sonic treatments by Jeff Blenkinsopp

Synopsis:
Following the invitation of an actress, KiNo goes to Istanbul to take a break from New York and produce a series of films with her. Upon arrival, he finds himself on his own. Stranded in a strange land with strange emotions, he starts working on this song.

CAST A PALL OF WIN is a poetic plea by KiNo which signifies 'Die, if you must, but bring something positive to creation’. This film is the first piece from the album CORPUS ENIGMA; a collection of films and their songs inspired by the emotional range of L'eclisse, film of Antonioni and Monica Vitti.

Track begins at 2:50. The VCS 3 provides "bass, melody, the snakey rhytmic stuff, the pings, the clicks, pretty much everything except the stringpads."

Anyone know what this is?  The listing states that it is working but not much else.  Sequential Circuits had this MusicMate, but this does not appear to be that.  This is the first Music Mate post.

Update via Pea Hicks of Optigan.com in the comments: "I had one of these about 10 years ago. It was meant for school use. It's essentially a mini divide-down electronic piano. Polyphonic, but with just one bland timbre."

conjoined transient generators

Published on Aug 23, 2013 cirtcele·92 videos

"more info - http://nonlinearcircuits.blogspot.com...

This vid is a quick start guide to cover some of the basic functions of this module. Once the modes and appropriate pot settings are understood it is quite easy to use and capable of delivering a huge variety of envelopes. The conjoined generator is driven by its own gate input but the envelope that it gives is wholly dependent upon what the main circuit is doing.
It is actually a state variable filter operating at CV rates with VC-Q that allows it to ring, somewhat unique a ringing envelope generator!"
